Justise Winslow is going to be a significant piece of the Heat’s rotation this season, but they are not simply turning him loose. Miami needs Winslow to fit certain roles off the bench, and one of those might be scoring in the post.
Miami’s second unit features Josh McRoberts and Amar’e Stoudemire as the big men, though neither is a traditional post player — particularly McRoberts, who is highly dangerous as a shooter and passer on the perimeter.

As part of Winslow’s education with the Heat, he spent time after this morning’s practice working with Dwyane Wade on post moves.

“I have a couple and I’m comfortable with those, but I’m trying to build off that and trying to perfect some other ones,” Winslow said. “I’m trying to learn and expand my game down there.”

Wade began seriously sharpening that part of his game in 2008 with the help of assistant coach David Fizdale (who was also on hand as he worked with Winslow today) and now relies on it.

At 33, Wade is embracing the role of professor with Winslow as his student.

“As his career develops, hopefully he’s able to do multiple things on the floor, but right now there’s gonna be certain things (Erik Spoelstra) wants him to do, and some of those things I’m good at,” Wade said. “I’m just passing down knowledge to someone who I think could be good at things that I have strengths at. It’s gonna take a while, but if he figures it out at 21, he’s ahead of the curve. I figured it out at like 27.

“All of us are where we’re at because someone before us helped us. They helped by letting us sit there and watch film with them or having conversations with them. If he’s a student of it and he really wants to know, I’m a pretty decent teacher in certain areas.”

The biggest thing Wade wants Winslow to learn is to take his time and methodically prod for a spot to attack.

“When you’re young, you just want to get down there and go,” Wade said. “You’ve gotta have patience. The best players in the world have all the patience in the world and they make you do what they want you to do. He’s gonna have to learn. It’ll come with time.”






I don't know what I'd do if I walked into a Subway and Haslem was there to take my order. :dead:

That's what I like to here. With Winslows wide frame and shoulders, learning how to play in the post from Wade is just so perfect.....

So far i havent seen anything impressive on the offensive end from Winslow but if he can develop a post game and learn to finish better with his foot-speed :banderas:
The post game will have to come later because he's small and weak now. But give it 2 years .. Right now he's pretty much a smaller/quicker version of Rudy Gay (body type) but with a Paule George-like game. Minus the range of eithe rplayer f course.

BTW, was that Tyler Johnson i saw in the video? Something tells me a trade will happpen because there is no point to have TJ, JR and Chalmers on the roster if you ask me
